android-discuss, Is there a flowchart? How Users are Notified..

 Hi All,

Need your help guys. I am currently trying to search for a FLOWCHART/
ILLUSTRATION with (at least easy to understand) explanation on HOW
USERS ARE NOTIFIED OF A NEW MESSAGE AND HOW THIS IS TRIGGERED TO SHOW
ON THE SCREEN (such as "3 New Messages Received") on the OS or
Application service level of Andriod.

Any references you can recommend? :)

 There is really no such thing.  The first part is app-specific.  The second
part is completely encapsulated in the NotificationManager API and its
back-end StatusBarService class, which is pretty straight-forward: the app
creates and delivers a notification, the status bar displays it, and the
status bar implements the code to let you drag it open and see the full
details of its notifications.
